Spectacular
Saw the big five and so much more. Our guide was outstanding. I accidentally slipped and suffered a severe injury, the Tanzanian people were the most kind, helpful and compassionate you could imagine. I received excellent medical care. Highly recommend.

Amazing safari experience with African comfort zone safaris - 4 days tour to Masai Mara/ Lake Nakuru
1) The communication with tour guide Joshua via email and whatsapp was excellent
2) The driver / guide Isaac was very friendly. He was very punctual, helpful and very knowledgeable.
3) We spotted a lot of animals in Masai Mara - all the big 5 in Masai Mara. Our safari was very succesful.
4) The stay at Lenchada campsite was very good. The camp was very close to the gate. The chef and staff were very friendly. We told them that we were vegetarian and they made sure to cook several vegetarian food so that we had several options to choose from.
5) We had several game drives - Early morning, full day or evening game drive. They were all very well planned and we could see all the big 5 animals.
6) The travel to Lake Nakuru and Stay at Matfam resort was good. We could spot a lot of flamingos and white Rhine during the early morning game drive at Lake Nakuru.
7) Kenyan people were very humble, friendly and open to all the foreigners. Everyone spoke perfect English and language was absolutely NOT a barrier.
8) Best part of safari was Radio communication / networking within the drives in the park. If a Rhine or Leopard is spotted anywhere in the park, all the tourist vans rush to get a glimpse of the animal.
9) Overall a very good safari. I would highly recommend this trip for everyone.

Excellent guide
We have traveled with Mussa twice, the most recent time in February of 2016. Mussa was everything we could ask for in a guide - friendly, engaging, funny on a personal side, and a hard-worker who knew where to find the animals we wanted, and how to position us in the best manner to view and photograph them once they'd been found. Mussa was tireless in his work for us, happily meeting us early in the morning to be out at first light, and staying out all day, and always with a smile on his face. Mussa also is very friendly with the other guides, which can have its advantages. For example, one day we really wanted to see a Serval; he let some of the other guides know the night before, and because of that relationship he was told over the radio of a Serval. We would have missed this sighting without his connections. Importantly, I always felt that Mussa respected the wildlife and the rules of the parks, unlike many other guides that seemed to be more concerned with getting the best tip even if it meant doing illegal activities (off-roading, for example). After traveling twice with Mussa, we feel like he's a friend of the family, and couldn't imagine traveling to Northern Tanzania with anyone else.

The best guys!
I need to recommend JIWE Adventures for you trip to TanzanIa! It’s a 10! I took their kilimanjaro trek. The guide was top professional, you could easily compare with others I talked to in the mountain. Without the help of the team (guide, porters, waiter & cook) it would not have been possible to make it. It was tougher than I expected!
Some words apart for Edgar, the owner of the company . A really great professional, but a much greater person. He took care personally of a serious problem I went through during my trip, when he had no need to. I’ll never in my life forget what he did for me, considering him to be now a friend.
When you get to know people of such human kindness, it’s worth it!!!
You can also hire their Service for safari!
JIWE, no other!

An Amazing Adventure in Namibia and Cape Town!
It's hard to put into words how truly wonderful our entire journey was but we've tried to capture some of the highlights.
Namibia was absolutely breathtaking - the ever-changing landscapes we encountered throughout our four camps were so majestic and somehow seemed other-worldly.. While we enjoyed each of the areas we stayed in, we would consider Sossusvlei and the Skeleton Coast as our highlights. There is nothing quite like the red sand dunes in Sossusvlei and to see the sunrise casting shimmering lights over them from our hot air balloon ride was simply magnificent! Another favourite memory for us is climbing the dunes - if we close our eyes, we can see ourselves laughing as we slide down the dune towards the striking beauty of Dead Vlei.
The rugged beauty and the remoteness of the Skeleton Coast was also equally impressive. Driving to the coast was just as much fun as being there. Along the way, we saw a cheetah with a fresh kill! Then our guide took us down a steep sand dune in our truck - COOL! And then imagine our surprise when we got to the coast - lunch had been set-up and was waiting for us on the beach, which we enjoyed as we watched the rough waves crashing on shore - amazing! What a way to end it by having a plane ride to appreciate the coast from the air!
We had expected that Namibia would be more about seeing the awesome landscapes and scenery but we were also fortunate to see a lot of game. Along the way we saw elephants, giraffes, oryx, zebras, ostriches and black rhinos. But the real highlight for us was unexpectedly coming upon a group of 11 white rhinos as we were heading back from our sundowners in Ongava - fantastic! Even our guide was surprised at our good fortune as that does not happen very often!
With respect to the four lodges we stayed at, each was quite unique and luxurious, and fit very nicely with their surroundings. The service, the people and the guides at each camp were fantastic and they made our stay and experience very memorable. It was nice that each camp acknowledged our anniversary with cards, fruit and champagne. At Little Kulala, they set up a special dinner for just the two of us in their wine cellar - a wonderful evening!
Cape Town was a very pleasant surprise for us - what a charming city with wonderful restaurants, the V&A Waterfront, the nice people, all topped off with the magnificence of Table Mountain. Our highlights here were the day tour to Cape Point and going up to the top of Table Mountain - the views and scenery are incredible! And then off we went to Stellenbosch and Delaire Graff. WOW! Delaire was a distinct highlight for us. We absolutely loved it! The exquisite grounds, surroundings and the villa were stunning! The exceptional attention to detail and level of service was extraordinary. We wish we had more time here and look forward to returning to explore the winelands further! We were also very pleased with the service and the professionalism that Samsara Travel provided on our tours and transfers.
From start to end, the wonderful planning and assistance that Razaan provided was marvelous and most appreciated. It was great to be able to have all my questions and concerns answered, and to have an itinerary tailor-made for us. We felt taken care of from the moment we landed in Johannesburg and all the way through our trip, until we were home again. It was also very nice of Razaan to stay connected with us throughout our entire journey and it was a comfort to know that we were being looked after. Thank you to Razaan and Ker & Downey for everything and for making our trip and anniversary so special!

Amazing Safari Experience with Incredible Guide
We are a family of four with two children (20 year old son ad 11 year old daughter). Erasto was recommended to us by one of my partners and we couldn't have been more happy with our experience. Erasto cared about every aspect of our trip and was willing to adjust the itinerary at times t meet our needs. He is extremely knowledgable about the animals, their habitats and his country. As a Massai warrior he gave us real insight into how that tribe lives which was very interesting. Erasto is extremely well known and often guides were asking him where to go to see the animals. We travel a lot and never like the cookie cutter tour experiences. Erasto really lives by his motto -- the path less travelled and we had some amazing encounters with animals without another person in sight for miles!! Our safari experience was everything we expected it to be and that was in large part to Erasto.

Trip was exactly as quoted and promised
Went on a 10-day safari in Kenya & Tanzania booked with Right Choice Tours & Safaris. George at Right Choice was extremely helpful and informative throughout the quoting and booking stages. He responded by email to all our questions and requests very quickly. Our 2 drivers, Gordon in Kenya and Tday in Tanzania were very friendly and informative about animals/birds/culture, etc. Gordon especially knew the names of all the birds we saw. All lodges/accommodations were excellent/first-class as promised. Very clean and well looked after. Truly making this safari a trip of a lifetime and having many fabulous memories. Would love to repeat this trip.
